Subject area does not appear

[zigoni72]

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your project.
I've just installed insights on 11.1.1.9.5 obiee verion. Everything seems to be ok. Login works perfectly. But...
Subject area does not appear.

When I check the console I have 👍
TypeError: outputData is undefined obiee.js:317:31
parseTablesAndCols http://xxx:9704/insights/js/obiee.js:317:31
obiee.getTablesAndCols/< http://xxxx:9704/insights/js/obiee.js:307:19

A http://xxxx:9704/insights/js/lib/jquery.min.js:5:14201

Maybe, I just have to drink cofee and open my eyes ... But this morning I don't understand.

Do you ever have this kind of issue?

Many Thanks for all!

Hmm, I've not seen this one before and looking at the code, the error looks a bit strange. I'm not sure how outputData could be raised as undefined at line 317, as it isn't referenced on that line, only in the previous function. Are you using the latest version of the master branch?

It may help to debug in the previous function, obiee.getTablesAndCols (line 293). Add:

console.log(outputData);

to line 302, above the line:

outputData = outputData.Body.describeSubjectAreaResult.subjectArea.tables;

Then attempt to login again and you should see the web service response in the console. It is possible the structure of this response for subject areas is different in your version of OBIEE to 12c. You can see the expected structure in the line above:

Body > describeSubjectAreaResult > subjectArea > tables

Hi,
thanks for your answer. I find a security issue with my login even if I am biadmi. WE use AD connexion .I try with a special user and it works (without data access but if works !) . Thïs one IS used only for application strategy on wlogic console. My question IS, is there some setup . Or a change to apply around groups or application strategy.. i ll send more information tomorrow if nedeed. Many thanks again. Jerome.

Sounds to me like a regular OBIEE permissions issue whereby the user you tried has been denied access to all the subject areas. Insights takes the security from OBIEE, so if you don't have permissions to the subject areas usually, you won't have them in Insights. If you login to the vanilla application (/analytics) are you able to see any subject areas?

Hi,

This is strange.
Our configuration is the following :
In the Console : We have an AD authentification with a connexion account : CN=service_account
In Security domain, myrealm users are automatically loaded from AD with AD groups.
In em we associate Application Roles to these groups.
The other part of the security is done in the rpd.

Actually, I have an access only with service_account... to some subject area via insights and I still have an error with my obiee user .
Via standard obiee connexion, it’s the normal usage : the user service account (Only BIConsumer) has only access to obiee home page but nothing else,
And the others users have an access link to their rights.

I lose my mind! I search more depthly and give the solution or the reason asap! If I find…

Thanks again and Regards,

Jérôme

I strongly suspect this is an OBIEE security issue whereby your user is not receiving the correct application roles to see the subject areas.
